[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 650909, member: 15832"] MWM, he nets 170.00 a week from his job at the grocery store which he has held for almost a year. He is to feed himself and buy toiletries, entertainment, cigarettes etc. out of his salary. It's complicated because he got a lump sum from SS which I have 9 months to spend and that goes for rent and bus card, health club membership. We still were supplementing his income because the SSI still didn't cover the rent. We were talking to his case worker and she was working with him on budgeting. We were going to ask him to start contributing in the spring to the bus card but now I have to spend this lump sum. He does have some impulsivity issues, I think, just like your son. He texted us that he needed 100.00 in his account to cover purchases because he checked online for his refund and thought it was going straight to his Chase account when we had it sent to SSI account and therefore spent the money before it was even in his account. (Quote) Think hard about what to do. You don't have to do ANYTHING today...now. You should know by now that you will not get the truth out of your son. The only way you will know what he wants to order is the list. If you chose to give him the money, do it and let it go. It''s done. When he blows it, too bad. Not your circus, not your moneky (or vice versa. Forgot which way it goes, but you get the idea) :) So we deposited 100.00 in his Chase liquid account and now he says he will be forthcoming (yeah, right, we'll see). He's coming down today to go to friend's birthday party with his friend who happens to be pregnant and can't drink. I'll let husband get the truth out of him. He works for a government agency and is used to negotiating with people. [/QUOTE]
